In September, Tesla promises to share details about the electric trunk tractor, which will rise on the conveyor within the next two years, and in the future will be able to acquire an autopilot, turning the driver into a specialist only needed to perform service functions. Resource Reuters managed to sniff out one of the representatives of a transport company from Miami dedicated to Tesla plans details about the prototype of the first generation electric traction tractor.

According to the representative of the American logistics industry, Tesla is ready to offer a sleeping trunk trunk tractor, capable of a typical load traveling from 200 to 300 miles (320-480 km). Nominally, this tractor has the right to be called the main tractor, but in the representation of transport companies, it will be able to work only on a short and medium "shoulder". In fact, and the sleeper for the driver is abolished as superfluous.

Experts argue that only the cost of batteries capable of providing a similar power reserve with a typical load will exceed the cost of a ready diesel truck capable of overcoming up to 1600 km without refueling. However, representatives of the logistics industry are hoping that electric tractors will be cheaper to operate. While the prospects for their use are vague, but automakers with experience are also interested in this topic. Daimler, for example, this year will begin mass production of electric vans, capable of overcoming 160 km without recharging with a load of 4.3 tons.

POSTER: computer news || HTC TRIES TO INTEREST GOOGLE IN BUYING A BUSINESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF HELMETS VIVE

DATE:2017-08-25

It's not the first time we've heard that HTC is trying to isolate the business of producing virtual reality helmets in an independent structural unit whose reputation would not cast a shadow over the failure of the Taiwanese company in the production of smartphones. Such changes could indicate the desire of HTC to find a strategic investor or a buyer of a promising business. As noted by Bloomberg , recently such activity of HTC has increased.

HTC is commissioned by Google smartphones Pixel, and therefore the US Internet giant is also considered as one of the candidates for the purchase of business for the production of virtual reality helmets Vive. The possibility of selling the entire HTC company is not ruled out, but it will be more difficult to implement such a deal, since a potential buyer should be interested in two types of assets. Now HTC hired consultants to study the "strategic options", but everything can remain unchanged if the structural transformation will not be profitable. Shares of HTC managed to grow by 8.5%.

POSTER: computer news || FORMER CFO INTEL IS PREPARING TO LEAVE THE COMPANY

DATE:2017-08-25

Intel Corporation on its website today in a laconic press release said that by the end of January 2018, the leadership will leave the ranks of Stacey Smith , who worked in various positions in Intel for the past 30 years. Until recently, he was the CFO, having held this position for nine years, and now Smith is the president of the group responsible for operations, production and sales. Intel CEO explained that this is Smith's personal decision.

To the merits of Stacy Smith as CFO, the head of Intel refers to his assistance in overcoming the "deepest recession" and transforming the corporation from a PC-oriented into data-intensive data. It can be said that the latest formulations have gotten into "farewell" in advance, because in reality the financial flows of Intel are still heavily dependent on sales of components for personal computers, and this market continues to shrink.

In search of promising markets, Qualcomm company some time ago agreed with NXP Semiconductors to purchase all shares of this largest developer of microprocessor solutions for the automotive industry. This week, Qualcomm Corporation reported that the period during which this deal should be completed is substantially extended - from October 27 of this year to September 22 of the next. Such a transfer of terms will allow Qualcomm in a calm environment to receive all the approvals and carry out the necessary approvals.

In passing, Qualcomm reports that the president of the corporation Derek Aberle will leave the company by the next year after a 17-year period of work. In Qualcomm, he has been in charge of technology licensing issues in recent years, and high-profile lawsuits against Chinese smartphone manufacturers and Apple have most certainly been initiated on behalf of the company's president. How will Qualcomm's relationship with partners change after Derek's departure is difficult to say. For this area from next year will meet Alex Rogers , directly under the CEO of Steve Mollenkopfu . It's unlikely that Rogers will somehow influence the "course of the party," since he himself worked at Qualcomm for sixteen years, and was involved in negotiations with Chinese licensees, so he knows all the nuances of relations with them.
